Antiphon: O Lord my God, how excellent is your greatness!* you are clothed with majesty and splendour.
(Psalm 104.1)
Opening (from Psalm 104.1)
and the sun knows the time of its setting.
2. You make darkness that it may be night,*
in which all the beasts of the forest prowl.
3. May your glory, O Lord, endure for ever;*
may you rejoice in all his works.
4. May these words of mine please you;*
I will rejoice in the Lord.
Glory ...
or a suitable Hymn
and Jacob became a sojourner in the land of Ham.
24. The Lord made this people exceedingly fruitful; *
making them stronger than their enemies;
25. whose heart God turned, so that they hated this people, *
and dealt unjustly with the servants of God.
26. O Lord, you sent Moses your servant, *
and Aaron whom you had chosen.
27. They worked your signs among them, *
and portents in the land of Ham.
28. You sent darkness, and it grew dark; *
but the Egyptians rebelled against your words.
29. You turned their waters into blood *
and caused their fish to die.
30. Their land was overrun by frogs, *
in the very chambers of their kings.
31. You spoke, and there came swarms of insects *
and gnats within all their borders.
32. You gave them hailstones instead of rain, *
and flames of fire throughout their land.
33. You blasted their vines and their fig trees *
and shattered every tree in their country.
34. You spoke, and the locust came, *
and young locusts without number,
35. which ate up all the green plants in their land *
and devoured the fruit of their soil.
36. You struck down the firstborn of their land, *
the first fruits of all their strength.
37. You led out your people with silver and gold; *
in all their tribes there was not one that stumbled.
38. Egypt was glad of their going, *
because they were afraid of them.
39. You spread out a cloud for a covering *
and a fire to give light in the night season.
40. They asked, and quails appeared, *
and you satisfied them with bread from heaven.
41. You opened the rock, and water flowed, *
so the river ran in the dry places.
42. For you, O God, remembered your holy word *
and Abraham your servant.
43 So you led forth your people with gladness, *
your chosen with shouts of joy.
44. You gave your people the lands of the nations, *
and they took the fruit of others’ toil,
45. that they might keep your statutes *
and observe your laws. Hallelujah!
Glory …
Conclusion
from 1 John 4
1. Beloved let us love one another,*
for love is of God;
2. And those who love are born of God*
and know God.
3. Those who do not love do not know God,*
for God is love.
4. In this the love of God was made manifest among us,*
that God sent his only Son into the world so that we might live through him.
5 In this is love: not that we loved God,*
but that God loved us and sent his Son to be the expiation for our sins.
6. Beloved, if God so loved us,*
we also ought to love one another.
Glory …
Antiphon: O Lord my God, how excellent is your greatness!* you are clothed with majesty and splendour.

Response Psalm. 119.105
Your word is a lantern to my feet.
Your word is a lantern to my feet.
A light upon my path.
A lantern to my feet.
Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit
Your word is a lantern to my feet.
SONG OF MARY
Song of Mary Antiphon: All wisdom comes from God: * and was with God before time.
1 My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,*my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour;
2 for he has looked with favour on his lowly servant;*
from this day all generations will call me blessed.
3 The Almighty has done great things for me*
and holy is his name.
4 He has mercy on those who fear him*
in every generation.
5 He has shown the strength of his arm;*
he has scattered the proud in their conceit.
6 He has cast down the mighty from their thrones*
and has lifted up the lowly.
7 He has filled the hungry with good things,*
and the rich he has sent away empty.
8 He has come to the help of his servant Israel,*
for he has remembered his promise of mercy,
9 the promise he made to our forebears,*
to Abraham and his children for ever.
Glory to the Father... (may be said by all)
